In reply to reddiver.

I agree. Been on Bummerza for several years now with almost 800 unique vintage items in my store and I have more hairs on my left pinkie finger than I do sales. Tilting the “B”? YGFKM, Sebastian! And the fluff blog posts is right, talk about a “puff piece” it’s like the New York Times fawning all over a bad Democrat candidate….

Finding out that Bonanza also lacks in customer service to their sellers.
Moving on.

Bonanza is a veritable cul de sac.
Either spend a ton on TV advertizing, or leave the empty “real estate” for a real selling venue.

Ha ha – full tilt on Bonanza’s new strategy. I’ve got listings on Bonanza. At prices lower than my Ebay listings. Have probably sold ten items in ten years. Unless the new management can figure out how listings can register in Google’s search algorithm, their aspirations for the big league are going to come to grief. Raising revenue from fees, ebay’s goto strategy to please Wall Street, won’t work for Bonanza if there are no buyers on the Bonanza platform. Then again, ebay will also learn that lesson eventually as the number of buyers on its platform continues to tank.

Putting lipstick on a pig, as far as I’m concerned. I have nearly eight HUNDRED individual, vintage items listed and I just made a sale yesterday, first in several months….

Hey Sebastian, here is a novel idea: instead of fleecing us for more money (that we don’t have) how about using the money we ALREADY pay you for advancing our SEO with Google? And don’t give me that old line about: “we are a publicly held company and our first duty is to the shareholders”….If you increase the ability of us sellers to get our merchandise SEEN and PURCHASED then guess what? Your PROFITS go up and with it, STOCK VALUE.

How is it that I don’t have an MBA and I know this simple truth??

Bonanza needs a lot more than a change to their logo. It needs traffic, it needs advertising. The site itself is fairly easy to run a shop, but if nobody knows the marketplace, it does not do any good.

Bonanza marketing moguls, if there are any, have got to be kidding. Changing the font and tipping the B?? That’s what they call forward thinking?

When I do a Google search to look for an item, I will see items being sold on eBay, Mercari and Poshmark. Never any mention of Bonanza sellers. It seems to me better exposure for sellers should be Bonanza’s first priority.

We’ve been selling on Bonanza for many years with some success. The new ownership is making changes but these seem more along the lines of having sellers pay up for ads to improve their sales. On a platform that does not generate very much it’s a bit too much to be asking. Their fees are starting to move up to eBay levels. Another suggestion would be to stop writing these fluff blog posts, it does not serve anyone and their resources should be put to better use.
